General Details
Name: Improved Autocannon/5
Type (Category): Weapon (Ballistic)
Reference: Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras (p. 90)
Description:
Early Clan ballistic weapons tech also benefited from advanced metallurgy and construction techniques that rendered these classics of warfare lighter and more compact. These weapons enjoyed only a brief service life before more significant advances to the Ultra and LB-X autocannon types rendered standard-model cannons obsolete.
Game Rules:
All four improved standard autocannons perform in the same fashion, and with the same heat, damage, range, and to-hit modifiers as those made using the Inner Sphere technology base.
